COMMERCIAL DESCRIPTIONBottle conditioned.
Four generations of the Moortgat family have brought together Pilsner malts, Bohemian hops, and a unique yeast strain to create this intense, aromatic and beguiling ale. This Belgian favourite is best enjoyed chilled (40 - 50 F) with discerning friends or good-looking strangers.

33cl. bottle. Heavily commercialized beer from Belgium. Though is has become much sweeter than 10 or 15 years ago, it still remains my favorite strong ale. Great citrus like aroma, golden appearance which is very vivid carbonization. The foam is legendary. The taste and palate too. A great drink.

Overall: One of my favorite Belgian beer. Just incredible. Bottles are super easy to find and reasonably priced even when compared to local 22s/750s. Just a great Belgian beer. Can’t taste the alcohol. Very nice yeast characteristics.

Light gold color with a lasting average-size white head. Clear.
Aromas are fairly complex and interesting - bread, dough and some hard to pin down spice, perhaps clove. The bottle I had also had just a very slight touch of skunk.
The alcohol is fairly apparent. The finish is long with both sweetness and bitter apparent.
I am not much of a fan of gold ales but this is a very good one.
